#6 Race-Rite Crimp-On Hose End 180-Degree

The #6 Race-Rite Crimp-On Hose End 180-Degree from FRAGOLA is a precision AN fitting engineered for high-performance fuel, oil, and coolant systems in racing and heavily modified vehicles. This crimp-on hose end delivers a true 180-degree return angle, allowing tight routing in engine bays where space is at a premium. Built for builders who demand reliability under extreme conditions, this fitting eliminates the need for bulky swaged connections and enables clean, compact plumbing on custom fuel rails, turbo lines, and transmission coolers.

Constructed from lightweight aluminum and finished in black anodized coating, the #6 Race-Rite fitting resists corrosion while maintaining a professional appearance in show-quality engine builds. The crimp-on design uses a proven compression seal that requires no thread sealant, reducing leak points and ensuring consistent pressure ratings across fuel delivery and cooling circuits. At 6 AN size (3/8-inch hose ID), this fitting handles flows typical of twin-turbo and supercharged applications, with a secure female AN connection on both ends that mates with standard -6 AN hose and fittings. The 180-degree angle geometry allows mechanics to run hose directly back toward the firewall or alongside engine block surfaces without requiring multiple elbows.

This fitting is ideal for street machines, track cars, and race-prepped vehicles where every inch of underhood real estate matters. Installers should confirm hose diameter matches 6 AN specification and use a proper hose crimper to achieve full seat pressure—undersized or overtightened crimps compromise fitting integrity. The black anodized finish integrates seamlessly with modern billet fuel systems and provides excellent UV and thermal stability for engine bay environments. Compatible with all -6 AN hose, braided stainless steel fuel line, and FRAGOLA's complete line of aluminum race fittings, this 180-degree crimp-on end is essential for any precision fuel or cooling system upgrade.
